Answer:
d) 1/32 microgram
Explanation:
First half life is the time at which the concentration of the reactant reduced to half.
Second half reaction is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/4.
Third half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/8.
Forth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/16.
Fifth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/32.
The initial mass of the sample = 1 microgram
After 5 half-lives, the mass should reduce to 1/32 of the original.
So the concentration left = 1/32 of 1 microgram = 1/32 microgram
The most likely answer will be B. Overfishing is still a large issue today, and it can really ruin a habitat. =)
